Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᓗ has the Unicode code point U+14D7. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+14D7 to binary:
00010100 11010111. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100001 10010011 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+14D7, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS LO, plays a crucial role in the representation of Canadian Aboriginal languages. It is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which comprises 283 characters designed to represent the phonetic structure of Indigenous languages in Canada. The syllabic writing system, developed by missionaries in the early 19th century, has since become a vital tool for the preservation and revitalization of these linguistic heritage. In digital text, U+14D7 enables accurate representation and transmission of traditional knowledge, literature, and cultural expressions within the context of Canadian Aboriginal languages. Its presence contributes to the ongoing efforts to empower Indigenous communities and foster linguistic diversity in North America.
